Brighton PlusBus

What is PlusBus?

PlusBus is a train ticket that includes all local bus travel throughout Brighton & Hove.

PlusBus - If you have friends and relatives visiting the Brighton and Hove area by train tell them to ask for a £3.50 PlusBus add on to their return rail ticket as this will then enable them to travel on any Brighton & Hove bus for the day (except west of Shoreham; north of Steyning, Patcham or Lewes; east of Seaford). Commuters can add the PlusBus facility on to their rail season ticket too and when buying rail tickets online from most train company websites. Further details are available at 1 Stop Travel and railway stations. Please note that to be accepted for travel, you must show a physical PlusBus ticket to the bus driver; a printed confirmation or email confirmation on a mobile phone is not valid for travel.
